Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen paid a visit to Conan O'Brien last night, and in addition to discussing the oil painting of Fred that was gifted to Carrie recently, they discuss Brownstein's many Twitter marriage proposals. "I'm going to do a micro-"Bachelor" where it's just me and some Twitter followers," Brownstein jokes, "and I'm just choosing which one I'm going to marry".

Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen recently swung by the Rachel Ray Show to make "Birds in the Nest", an egg-filled take on grilled cheese. As expected, it played out almost like one of the duo's Portlandia skits: Armisen senses the time crunch of recording for live television, and says "I have a very slow story to tell you first" when asked to crack an egg. ("In Portland they put eggs on everything," he adds.) Brownstein, meanwhile, needs help using a cookie-cutter. Watch the video here.

Wilco's Jeff Tweedy made an appearance on last night's episode of IFC's "Portlandia", where he hit the studio to record a new song. As he plays, label executives played by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein pepper him with questions about whether he really lived the weary life he's singing about. When it's clear he hasn't, they push him in a more honest direction. Watch the skit below, via Stereogum.
